Technology Market / Sony Launches Wearable Body Air Conditioner (VIDEO) by macrawl: 6:17pm On Jul 29, 2019
These days, almost all offices now have air conditioners in them, likewise, the cars we drive around and the taxi’s we board.

Ever been in a bus or public transportation without an Air Conditioner, with the bus filled to capacity under a hot sun? What will you do if you find yourself in such a situation? Probably nothing, you only just have to wait till you get to your destination or wait till when substantial air gets into the public transport before you could feel alright.


Some of us might have wondered if it could be possible to invent an Air conditioner that can keep the body cool at all times, even when we’re in motion.

Wonder no more as the Japanese Company; Sony just made it a reality with their New “Wearable Body Air Conditioner”. The new Sony Wearable Air Conditioner is of the same size as a SmartPhone, but smaller.

One of the best features of the Wearable Air Conditioner is that it has a Cooling and Warming feature, as it cools you down when you’re feeling hot and warms you up when you feel cold. Isn’t that superb?

The wearable air conditioner tagged “Reon Pocket” comes with a special undershirt with a pocket at the base of the neck where you can slip in the Reon Pocket Air conditioner, connect the device to its app in your smartphone and then use the Bluetooth to power it on.

After getting it up and running with your smartphone’s Bluetooth, you can then select between cooling and heating feature; whichever suits the weather.

According to Sony, the Reon Pocket is capable of cooling a user’s body temperature by 13 degrees Celsius (23 degrees Fahrenheit) on hot days, and on hot days, it can raise a user’s temperature by about 8 degrees Celsius (about 14 degrees Fahrenheit).

Reon Pocket’s charge time is 2 hours, it uses USB-C charger and its battery lasts up to 24 hours. The wearable air conditioner iOS and Android operating system.

The Reon Pocket’s not noticeable when worn as its soo small and weighs a mere 85 grams (3 ounces).

The wearable body air conditioner comes in 2 types which are ‘Reon Pocket Standard and Reon Pocket Lite.

Reon Pocket Lite is cheaper than Reon Pocket Standard and it comes with manual mode operation. While the standard also lets you manually control the temperature via your smartphone. The Reon Pocket standard also lets you tweak the air volume and it also has a customizable “my mode.”

Unfortunately, the Reon Pocket is only available in Japan for now and the Prices range from 12,760 yen (~$117) to 19,030 yen (~$175), depending on the version and how many undershirts you want to buy with it.

According to Sony, the full production should be expected around March 2020

A trial is set to begin after the FBI discovered a human chop shop with buckets of heads, cooler of joysticks and corpses sewn like “Frankenstein”.

The FBI made the gruesome discovery in 2014 when they raided a Phoenix body-donation business. A trial date has now been set for October 21, 2019, in Maricopa County, Arizona.

At the time of the raid, the now-defunct, for-profit Biological Resource Center held 1,755 parts. The center made its business centered around accepting corpses, where they removed and sold body parts, and cremated the remains for those they did not sell.

Eyewitness account of the raid is now being brought to light after three families filed a civil lawsuit against Biological Resource Center and its owner, Stephen Gore; where they claim body parts were obtained through “false statements” and being sold for profit to various middlemen.

In addition, the families say, the body parts belonging to their family members weren’t stored, treated nor disposed of with dignity or respect.

Subsequent to the 2014 discovery, Arizona passed a law in 2017 stating that body donation companies must obtain a state license to operate; however, the law has yet to be implemented and enforced

Celebrities / Nicki Minaj Is Set To Headline A Music Festival In Conservative Saudi Arabia by macrawl: 4:52pm On Jul 04, 2019
Saudi Arabia has invited rapper Nicki Minaj to perform this month, an unusual move for the famously conservative kingdom.

Minaj is scheduled to headline the Jeddah World Fest, a music and performance festival, on July 18. DJ Steve Aoki and singer Liam Payne have also been announced, and the kingdom is offering quick online visas for international visitors.



Minaj is known for more than just her rap skills, with explicit lyrics and risque performances sometimes taking center stage. So why did she get an invite to Saudi Arabia, where public spaces are mostly segregated by gender and women’s rights are still restricted?

The kingdom has loosened some of its restrictions

The Saudi government has made efforts to relax some of its restrictions. Last year, a 35-year ban on movie theaters was lifted, and women were finally given the right to drive. This year, Mariah Carey held her own concert in Saudi Arabia, despite backlash from women’s rights activists.
It’s all part of an economic overhaul under Vision 2030, an effort to reduce the kingdom’s reliance on oil. The kingdom is attempting to create economic activity at home and encourage citizens to spend their money within its borders. But there are few entertainment attractions due to its ultraconservatism — hence, the Jeddah World Fest.



In 2017, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman promised to destroy “extremist ideologies” and create a more moderate kingdom in an effort to “coexist with the world.”
The festival — and Minaj’s headliner role — aligns itself with this aim. But the crown prince and the kingdom have also been under heavy criticism concerning the death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi last year and could be looking to change international perceptions as well.
